+1

when it comes to hard trance and hard dance, the UK f*in dominates.

I'm really really hoping to hear many hard dance sets in this event especially some UK sets that feature hard house, techno-trance, and many other subgenres of hard dance

Mat Lock



London based dj Mat Lock has been establishing an extensive career in the London and UK trance scene since 2005. Starting his playing career on the legendary web radio station Trance Airwaves in 2003. Mat Lock first made his full dj debut when he entered the Heat UK DJ Competition and beat off the competition to take 1st prize and the coveted prize to play at their Heat UK South West Four Launch Party. A successful debut set then followed with several dj bookings from other promotions. 3 years on Mat Lock has regularly played alongside some of the biggest rising and established stars in the UK trance scene at some of the best venues London has to offer.

Mat Lock has also continued to play regular shows on web radio over the past 3 years at ETN.FM. His commitment to allowing new djs to showcase their music talents on his radio show has seen several guest djs and producers make their mark in the scene.

Mat Lock can now be found gracing the airwaves of massive global internet radio station DanceRadio.gr which is based in Athens, Greece. Look out for his new radio show called Ataraxia.

2007 saw Mat Lock enter the world of production, working in the studio with Luke Warner who has also been a dj and producer in the UK trance and hard dance scene. Their first production, Deep Psychosis, is signed to DJSA Records and was released on 10th December 2007. The track has seen a remix produced by Daniel Kandi as part of the full release. The track has been championed by the World’s number 1 dj Armin van Buuren on his A State Of Trance radio show and won the Tune Of The Week and Future Favourite in successive weeks.

Their second production, Catching Dreams – Timeless (CC Anthem 2007) (Luke Warner & Mat Lock Remix) was a track that was entered into a competition held on the website CrystalClouds.com. The remix came joint first in the competition and was signed up by the label Crystal Clouds Recordings and was released on 8th December 2007.

With these successes Mat Lock has achieved in his career there is a massive desire to succeed further and take his name, dj’ing and productions to a worldwide audience.

John O'Bir



Jon’s life changed back in September 2002 when he won a DJ competition for Passion and M8 magazine, beating 300 other aspiring DJ’s. Godskitchen soon offered Jon a residency and the prospect of a fledging career as Britain's next DJ sensation.

“This is how trance is meant to be: beautiful bosh that takes you to another place” Mixmag feature February 2003.

Appearances on the Essential selection and Fergie’s Radio 1 show as well as a trip to Holland for a guest mix on Armin van Buuren’s popular’ A State of Trance’ show propelled his name to a wider audience.
In 2005 Jon made an appearance on the world famous ‘Essential Mix’ and in 2006 Radio 1 offered Jon a slot on ‘The Residency’ alongside 6 other DJ’s including Eddie Halliwell and Nic Fanciulli in which they presented 6 of their own shows, broadcast live on the U.K’s most listened to radio station. He also became involved in Radio 1 events such as ‘One Big Weekend’ in Sunderland and Radio 1’s ’10 years in Ibiza’ live from Space, Ibiza, this showcased Jon’s talent to a huge audience. After the success of ‘The Residency’, Jon started his own monthly show ‘Ways & Means’ which continues to grow in popularity with listeners and with various worldwide radio stations airing the show on a regular basis.

Armin van Buuren:

"I've been impressed with Jon's recent production work as Aira Force and his A&R work for conspiracy. The man is clearly on a mission to push his own unique trance sound. He's still young and has already established his name with the trance elite. He can only get bigger. Don't say I haven't told you so."

During his residency at Godskitchen, Jon gained respect from DJ’s and clubbers for his flawless warm up and energetic peak time sets. He showed how diverse his resident skills were by warming up for Sasha, Tiesto, Paul van Dyk and many more big name acts. He also kept the dance floor rocking, playing after these A-list DJ’s. Playing at Air and other huge Godskitchen events, such as Global Gathering, other clubs and other big events soon filled up Jon’s diary, these included Homelands, Gatecrasher, Slinky and international venues in U.S.A, Asia and Europe. Jon still plays regular Godskitchen events despite the residency ending in 2006 and as each month progresses more and more venues show their interests in booking this skilled artist.

In terms of his own productions, Jon’s first few projects were collaborations alongside Gareth Emery and Airwave. ‘Escapade’, ‘Bouncebackability’ and ‘No Way Back’, produced with Gareth Emery, gained plenty of support from top DJ’s and fans alike. The single ‘Promise I Made’ produced with Airwave, one of Jon’s favourite artists, was also a well supported release. With the knowledge gained from the collaborations, Jon hit the studio to create his first solo production, ‘Effectual’ and soon to follow was ‘Ascendancy’. He also worked on a number of remixes, including the massive ‘Jose Amnesia – Louder’ released on Armin van Buuren’s label, Armada.

As well as being a DJ & Producer, Jon is also a label manager of Conspiracy Recordings, created in the summer of 2005 by Jon and Rob Stevenson which continues to release high quality tracks produced by new and established artists, gaining support from all the big players in the scene.

2008 and onwards looks set to get better and better for Jon O’Bir. Paul van Dyk has signed Jon’s first artist album, titled ‘From Within’ to his huge record label Vandit and it will see a worldwide release in the summer of 2008.

With the rising popularity of his productions, radio show and record label and still under 25, the future looks very bright for Jon O’Bir.

Lisa Lashes



I have gained my worldwide reputation for playing hard dance but am now being recognised for my skills in the breaks style. I have performed my dirty breaks sets at my Lashed nights alongside people like FreqNasty, Rennie Pelgrim, Leeroy Thornhill and The Freestylers but also in some of the world’s leading clubs - Godskitchen in Birmingham, Turnmills in London, Bar M in Ibiza. My soon to be released breaks material is getting great feedback and is regularly played by some of the best DJs of the genre like Krafty Kuts. So there’s a lot more to expect from me in that particular… because I just love it!
